Blue loctite is fine to use. Been using it for years with no problems. I've read several different "preparing your bow for the hunt" type articles in all the bowhunting magazines over the years, and they have ALWAYS recommended using loc tite on all the bolts.

It dont matter what your Mathews dealer said screw will back out eventually on any bow from vibration over time if not loctited. My dealer did not tell me either I watch him do it to all his bows before they leave! I never had a problem in my 20 years of bow hunting with a loose screw cause they were all loctited from new!
Vabowman dont be scared just go get the loctite. Go to your shop if ask them to loctite everything! I will say my dealer missed one screw on my bow and after a few shots it was loose. It was the cam stop screw. Took it back a little loctite on it and never a problem again! It does not matter what brand bow you got use LOCTITE!

Ok, I went a bought a screw and some blue loctite and did it. now the screw is a little longer than the original, not much, but it was all they had, so anyway, I put a dab of loctite on one side of the threads and tightened her down and now I will wait til tomorrow to shoot it I guess. It says 24 hrs to cure and 10 min to set.

I shot mine right after he applied loctite to my camstop and it did not come loose. Go out and try it you got the loctite to redo if needed but I dont think you will need to!
